The Yampa Valley was home to the Ute Indians long before early American trappers used the area as a safe haven of sorts in the dangerous Rockies. In 1875, James Crawford became the first white to settle in Steamboat Springs and began the flow of people to the valley. The Yampa Valley is also home to some of the largest elk herds in Colorado.

The history of Dinosaur National Monument is traced back more than 10,000 years. The Fremont Indians lived in the area more than 1,000 years ago and left traces of their homesteads to add to the fossils, which give the monument its name sake.
